Please tell me about your experiences. I was scared to come off it as I had a bad experience when I stopped citalopram years ago. My GP told me to just stop taking the sertraline but when I read about it online I decided to taper off my dose instead. For the last week I've had horrendous "brain zaps" (if you've experienced this you know what I mean) and they're getting worse. It's now every few minutes, whenever I turn my head or look to the side or when I am stressed. I also feel very irritable. How long will this last? It's bloody miserable.
